lonely
john sweet
allison gets dressed
afterwards
and says her boyfriend
hasn't been home
in four days
she gets lonely
she says
she lights a cigarette
in the darkness
and watches me
put my pants on
she checks on her kid
while i use
the bathroom
then walks me
to the door
kisses me on the cheek
says
she'll call
i get home in time
to catch
a few hours of sleep
before work
